Yes, Ashendant, and may I quote, (from memory), Baruch Spinoza, one of the bravest and greatest thinkers of his time:
"Perhaps the deity which created this world was a very young one. Just starting out, his first creation was a clumsy effort. After making mistake after mistake, this immature god simply got bored with the whole project one day and cast it aside, to go on to more interesting projects elsewhere later."
"Or maybe it was a very aged god who was working on his final work. Half blind and deaf and with shakey hands; his work never completed, when suddenly the old watchmaker expired at his workbench, leaving the rough and unfinished project to go on drifting through space, abandoned and without course . . . . ."
